Age Defying Personalities - Vastu Sastri Raman

this is another person I admire most - Vastu Sastri Raman

This is incidentally my father too. I admire him not because he is my father, but for all of the following :

the kind of power, the energy level, the helping tendency, the fighting spirit

Another of those who is past 70, currently he is 76, still with amassing energy. He travels a lot, but never feels tired after the travel, but bounces out with more energy.

His vastu power is amassing. The kind of workable solutions he can provide - is simply great. Of course with Vastu you lose out some amount of aesthetics, but if what do you want most in life - health, wealth, happiness and peace of mind - if these could be got by adjusting here and there, why dont you do it.

For me I believe in an All powerful Inherent power of the Almighty who is always trying to help us - so why we take the power to help ourselves to good things in life.

If we do all things well - like hard work, smart work, combined positive energy of people to take things to greater heights and Vastu is going to increase this, better do that.

Coming to Vastu Sastri, one incident which I can never forget in life is how he sees everybody around himself as an extension of his family. Years ago, I was pregnant and he had got me tender coconuts to drink. While entering the house, he saw a rag picker near our house who was also pregnant, he immediately came inside, gave me one coconut and gave another coconut to that rag picker. I was really very touched.

He helps people with the kind of help what they want and not what help he can do - that is one of the great qualities I admire.

May God be with him always and give him the power to make people see the world like what he does.

I just want to add a point to this posting. Years ago when I had to go to Barbados, I had several problems in getting a UK transit visa, so we decided to go via Canada, even though it was a longest path. When the Canadian embassy called me for an interview @ New Delhi, I thought that it’s going to be another tough call for me (I had few unpleasant exp at US Embassy!). Same time Vastu Swamy also came to Delhi for your award function – President Award), so we stayed together. When I had to leave for the consulate, I was really tensed. Suddenly something told me that I should get blessings from Vastu Swamy and I touched down his feet and he did ashirwathams. You won’t believe, I got the visa cleared in 5 mins with simple 2 questions by the Canadian lady officer. At that moment I felt the power of the person. I can’t forget that incident and I really cherish that. I might have not shared this incident with many, but I told my parents that I am flying because of Swamy’s blessings.

Giving back to Society

When I joined Rotary Club of Chennai Thiruvanmiyur , I didnt understand what changes a club can make to somebody unknown. Our club had taken up Adult Literacy program in a very remote village near Pondi , which is quite far away from our city. While the project objectives were good, the distance and the way the then President had taken this project unilaterally, made all of us not to think too much of it. But a Project is a Project done with a Goodness. This is a such a remote village, where the main occupation of the people is fishing in the nearby Pondi reservoir . That is also halted when the Krishna waters comes into the reservoir . When the program was started it was with reluctance that the people joined. The President came up with the idea to give one kg of rice to the people who are attending the program, whenever he visited them. That became the great motivator as for people who dont know when their next meal will be or where it will come from - it became a boon ...

IT SME FORUM

About 7 months back a group of Entrepreneurs from Chennai who had a common thread of running their software companies got togehter to form a cohesive group - The IT SME FORUM - as a Strategy to accelerate their individual growth through synergy. Each one of these entrepreneurs are successfully running their software companies fighting individual battles to keep the company up and running, maintain a steady growth rate, increase their customer base, etc. Running a company in India is not a easy task - it is literally getting pulled in thousands of direction and believe me - A business leader is supposed to concentrate only on Growth - Marketing - Sales. But I have found that typically in the Indian environ, we get pulled into operations and managing to spend some time for the most crucial aspect of the business. This gave rise to the idea - why not have a platform to share the best practices, to learn how to tackle problems, get a better voice and get a big bandwidth in terms of out rea...

Thanks to Aravind who wanted me to write about the Temple at thiruvotriyur in chennai. that was one of those days when you get up early in morning and the whole world looks very frustrating and you dont know what to do. it became a God send message to me. So started my preparation to go the temple. I reside in the south chennai and the the Temple is at Thiruvotriyur in North Chennai. and the travel time will be more than 1.30 hours. So we started at 10.30 and reached around 11.45. The temple closes at 12 noon after the mid day pooja. What a divine visit it was. I came back so calm and filled with energy. This is a Shiva temple and the God is known as Tyagarajar, Adipureeswarar and Padampakka Nathar. The main deity is said be in the form of Lingam formed of Mud which is covered with Golden cover sheet. Once a year during Karthik Poornima, the Gold cover is removed and the necessary abishekam is performed and the once again the Lingam is covered with all the medicinal materials. His conc...
